Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

Dumisani uThixo. Hlabelelani uThixo ingoma entsha, indumiso yakhe ebandleni labathembekileyo.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

Akuthi u-Israyeli athokoze ngoMenzi wakhe; akuthi abantu baseZiyoni bajabule ngeNkosi yabo.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

Kabadumise ibizo lakhe ngokusina, batshaye amagedla lamachacho.

4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

Ngoba uThixo uyathokoza ngabantu bakhe; abathobekileyo ubapha umqhele wensindiso.

5 Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

Akuthi abathembekileyo bathokoze ngale inhlonipho, bahlabele ngentokozo besemibhedeni yabo.

6 The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

Sengathi indumiso kaNkulunkulu ingaba semilonyeni yabo lenkemba esika nxazonke ibe sezandleni zabo,

7 to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

ukuthi benze impindiselo phezu kwezizwe lesijeziso phezu kwabantu,

8 to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

babophe amakhosi azo ngentambo lezikhulu zabo ngezibopho zensimbi,

9 to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.

ukugcwalisa kubo isigwebo abasibhalelwayo. Lokhu kuyinkazimulo yabathembekileyo bakhe bonke. Dumisani uThixo.
